#GivingTuesday is a global giving movement built by individuals and communities in the US and in countries around the world. On this #GivingTuesday, Facebook and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will be matching up to $50,000 of funds raised on Facebook by US nonprofits. We’re asking iACT supporters to fundraise by choosing one of our refugee employees’ stories and committing to raising as much as they can on Facebook. This will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact! Join us in giving support to refugees like Soliman, Zaineb and Salwa who are doing the work of peace in their communities.

STEP 1: PICK AN iACT STORY

As part of #GivingTuesday, we’ve chosen three of our incredible refugee staff members to highlight their story and give fundraisers a personal connection with our work. Please read Souliman, Zaineb and Sawla’s story and decide which story you’d like to fundraise with!

Fundraising doesn’t have to be hard, and now there are so many ways to reach out to your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers through email, social media, and text messages. All you have to do is ask for support!

Did you know that fundraisers who send at least 10 emails raise six times more than those who don’t?

Here you will find a collection of some of the most valuable fundraising resources provided by the iACT team to help you raise money for #GivingTuesday so that together we can help empower more refugees.
